A calm solo puzzle. Slide beads around the board and line up five of a colour to clear them.

The rules, step by step

  1. The board is 9 by 9 squares. A few beads of different colours (and shapes) sit on it, and the next three beads are shown above the board.
  2. Tap a bead, then tap an empty square. The bead slides there, but only through empty squares, up, down, left or right. It cannot jump over other beads.
  3. Make a row of five or more beads of the same colour, across, down or diagonally. They disappear and you score.
  4. If you did not clear a row, three new beads appear in random empty squares. If you did clear one, no new beads appear that turn.
  5. Scoring: five beads score 10, six score 18, seven score 28, and so on, so clearing more at once is worth much more.
  6. The game ends when the board is full. Your best score is kept on this device.

An example

You have four red beads in a row. Slide a fifth red bead next to them, and all five vanish for 10 points.
